PROFILE

Ben Scheirman

Worked on the jdx/mise repository to enhance the reliability of GitHub artifact downloads, focusing on authentication and error handling for both public and internal repositories. Developed logic in Rust to select the appropriate authentication token, ensuring seamless access when enterprise tokens are unavailable. Improved backend processes by validating content types and implementing a fallback mechanism to the GitHub API for asset retrieval, which prevented HTML login pages from being misidentified as assets. These changes reduced build failures and CI/CD disruptions, streamlining package installation and automation. Demonstrated skills in Rust, API integration, and robust backend error handling throughout the development process.

January 2026 (2026-01) — Repo: jdx/mise Key features delivered: - GitHub Artifact Download Reliability and Authentication Handling: consolidated two commits to stabilize artifact downloads from GitHub.com and internal GitHub repos. Implemented (1) token selection logic to use appropriate authentication for github.com when enterprise token is not set, and (2) content-type validation with fallback to the API URL for release assets. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed token fallback for non-api.github.com hosts and added content-type checks to avoid HTML login pages being treated as assets; improved asset URL resolution by falling back to GitHub API when necessary. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly increased reliability of artifact downloads, reducing build failures and CI/CD disruptions for internal repos. Enabled smoother package installation and automation flows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Rust code changes (src/github.rs) for authentication and asset download flow. - GitHub API integration and token management (MISE_GITHUB_TOKEN, MISE_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN). - Robust error handling and URL resolution across GitHub and enterprise environments. Note: Commits driving these changes include ba26b44c92b9f407facfb0b66554d458b0621537 and 4ffaddd67abec09a016240fb43f55c299156ff3a.
